ONE NIGHT

Episode 21 "It's been 15 minutes now since we have been on the journey to church. I hope we are getting close? Funto asked "Seriously o, I dey confused even my tired is tired. We should have just entered a tricycle instead of trekking. See now, all my make up is dripping. Ewa, you better make sure I sit directly under the fan or next to the AC whatever the case may be" Arinola said shabishly as they both gave her an annoying look "Oooh...I understand that look but I am fucking tired" Arinola said "I am sorry babes, I thought walking together would be nice although, I have gotten used to it but in the next 3-5 minutes, we will be at the church" Ewa said "Thank you Jesus...ESE o Jesus" Arinola said as funto was smiling "Funny girl" Ewa said as she smiled  *5 Minutes Later,* They arrived at the church and they all strolled in when the worship session was going on. Gbenga the head usher welcomed them and took them to the first row ...

ONE NIGHT

Episode 20 "Wow...thank you Jesus. It's Sunday" Ewa said loud as she stood up to wake Arinola who promised to follow her to church. Funto was praying when Ewa strolled to Arinola's room, only to meet her snoring as she didn't lock her room "What's going on here? Madam, why are you still sleeping? Ewa asked her as  she tapped her. "Abeg, why can't I sleep? Leave me o, today is resting day to me" Arinola said as she turned around "You must be joking. Didn't you say you, you are following me to church. Ogbeni, stand up and let's go o. We have limited time" Ewa said as she tapped her again and Arinola stood up angrily "Ehn...you better let my going to your church worth it unless, you will pay for it" Arinola said as she stood up "Babe...the lord will encounter you. You just have to go into His presence with expectations and I pray today you will be set free...Amen" Ewa said "It's enough...mummy past...

ONE NIGHT

Episode 19 Arinola woke up before anyone else in the house as she cleaned the house. While, she was cleaning, she could hear the sound of music tracks from Funto and Ewa room. She knew they were busy and couldn't talk to them until they open their door. She went into the kitchen to prepare what they will eat as she was singing "You know, you should join the music department. You have an amazing voice" Ewa said as she turned back and saw both of them standing at the door entrance "I know right. Good morning babes, how was your night rest? Hope you slept well? Arinola asked "Yes I do" Ewa said as Funto also nodded in confirmation. After some brief talk, they all went back to their different rooms as Funto was preparing for the bible study service. She knocked on Ewa's door when she was fully ready to leave  "You look beautiful babe" Ewa said as she opened the door "Thank you love. I have to go now" Funto said "Were you able to fin...

ONE NIGHT

Episode 18 Ewa, Funto and Arinola couldn't sleep. They were all bothered in their different rooms yet, didn't know exactly how they feel but deeply within them, they knew everything isn't fine. Arinola opened the door and Ewa stood up immediately she heard the opened door. So also Funto. They all gathered at the sitting room and everywhere was silent. After few minutes of silence, Arinola finally broke the silence. "I really don't know what's happening to me. I find it hard to sleep, probably, it's because of what happened earlier. I don't even know but nevertheless, why are you guys also outside? Arinola asked "I can't sleep too" Ewa said "I also can't sleep" Funto said as they were all surprised "When something like this, is happening, it can be a message and probably, forcing ourselves to sleep is not the solution" Funto said "What then, is the message or what can we do? Arinola asked "We have to pray. ...

Episode 17 "Why didn't he want to know my house? Or Am I too fast? No, I think he doesn't like me. No, he likes me...If not, he wouldn't remind me of my last junction.  Awwwn, that means he has me in mind. Awwwn, Motun you are so lucky to be loved by whom you love. Thank God, I don't have to worry about that lady Ewa. I even saw Bro Benjamin talking to her....Hmmm, that means he might be interested in her. Wow, thank you Jesus for always making a way for me. Truly, bro Theophilus is mine. I don't need to worry. His smile is so bright and cute" Motun said as she smiled and lay on the bed "Bro Theophilus, I think we have gotten to the place where we need to follow different path" Benjamin said "Yes, such is life but can you believe I just got something's from what you said. Hmmm, worded man, continue to be a blessing" Theophilus said "Hmmm...my amiable Gen Sec and Prayer Sec. You words are filled with fire. Fire everywhere. God b...

ONE NIGHT

Episode 16 "Who's there? Ewa asked again but no response. She took the turning stick as a means of guiding herself as she heard the footsteps of someone approaching her. As she was about to move out, Arinola appeared looking derailed "It's me, don't shout" Arinola said as Ewa was confused "What happened to you? Ewa asked carefully "Well, it's a long story. I will explain later" Arinola said as Funto came out of the room yawning. Immediately, she saw Arin, she said "Oooh.... Arinola, you are back? Where did you go sef? You just....she couldn't finish her statement as Arinola closed her mouth. "Can you just shut up? Arinola asked softly as she removed her hand from her mouth "Okay.... what's going on? Funto asked as she looked at Ewa who was also looking confused "Come to my room" Arinola said as they followed her. For few minutes, Arinola didn't say anything as she was looking at them "Say something ...

ONE NIGHT

Episode 15 Benjamin and Theophilus were walking home as they were discussing "What do you think about that new comer Ewa? Bro Theophilus asked "Well...I can't say much because we didn't talk for so long but she is beautiful and kind of rude. I guess probably because she didn't want any guy to get attached to her so, she is just being careful. I can't say more than this" Benjamin said "Wow....thank you so much. You don't know how this means to me" Theophilus said "Hmmm...bro Theophilus, what are you insinuating? Benjamin asked suspiciously "Bro Ben...I like her, right from the moment I saw her on Sunday but I just want to know her better before jumping into conclusion. There is something about her that I can't just place right apart from her beauty" Theophilus said "Well....you can't say until, you get close to her. Bro Theophilus seriously I can't believe you too can like a lady. I thought all you like is fire...

ONE NIGHT

Episode 14 Ewa met Funto sitting on a plastic chair in the sitting room "Madam...welcome o, I thought the interview was never going to end. How was the Bible study? Funto asked jokingly "What do you mean mummy? The Bible study was powerful and loaded. It's not my fault that I came late. They were doing what they ought to have done on Sunday. Thank God, it ended well. I am even tired" Ewa said as she sat beside Funto "I understand you. Plus, it's not easy to be a fine girl" Funto said and smiled "Abeg. What are you saying? Who fine girl help? None of those guys are in the same clique with me. Please, where is Arinola? Ewa asked "It's a long story my sister. I didn't know where that lady went to" Funto said "Have you tried calling her number? Ewa asked "Yes, I have o. Probably, she is with one of her concubines" Funto said "That's true. I know one day, God will encounter her just like he did to Moses and Paul...

ONE NIGHT

Episode 13 Funto came out of the room and realised she was the only one at home. "Only God knows where Arin went to but wait o. Ewa should be back from church by now. This is 6pm" Funto said to herself as she dialed her number. Ewa picked up her call.... "Hello Ewa...where are you? Funto asked "I am coming. It seems like I am going to be interviewed soon" Ewa said "Interview bawo (How)? Funto asked confusedly "Don't worry, I should be home in the next 10/15 minutes" Ewa said and smiled "Alright. Don't stay long o" Funto said as she hanged the call. She dialed Arinola's number but she wasn't picking up her call "Arinola oooo...God please watch over her" Funto said and went to the kitchen "Did I just hear you say interview? Benjamin asked as he moved closer to her "Yes" Ewa said as she turned back to see the person talking "Good evening ma. It's nice seeing you again and nice to have you i...

ONE NIGHT

Episode 11 "Babe, please open the door" Arinola banged the door severally as she got to Funto's room "Oh ooh...Arin, what do you want from me. I am very busy now and I am not available for gossip" Funto said as she got up from the bed "What is this one saying o. Abeg, open the door. Who told you I am here for gist. Like, I don't have what to do. What do you even take me for? Arinola asked harshly and she smiled after. "Okay, before someone chop me raw. I am coming" Funto said as she opened the door "So, what do you have for me? Funto asked as she stood at the door entrance, preventing her from coming in to avoid unnecessary talk. Arinola, had the impression of disturbing her but seeing how serious she is, she changed her mind and asked "Do you have any snacks or sweet? "Seriously, this is what you want and you made me disturb myself. Arinola, I know you too well and I know that's not what you are here for but you know what, ...

ONE NIGHT

Episode 10 Ewa was already dressed for bible study as she went about, knocking the other rooms to be sure if they would be following her to the Bible study class.  Since Funto's room was opposite her room, she went there first. After knocking, Funto opened the door "Hello babe" Ewa said as funto opened the door "Hello...I can see you are ready to go to church" Funto said "Yes o, I am ready. How do I look? Ewa asked "You look great and beautiful and you are not dressed to kill" Funto said as they both laughed "Thank God o because i am not ready for another drama.  Today, isn't your bible study day right? Ewa asked "No...is there any problem? Funto asked "No, I was just wondering if you want to follow me to the Bible study class" Ewa said "Awwwn...I wish I can but I have some assignments and project works to attend to. I am sorry maybe another time" Funto said "No problem. Alright then, I will just check up on ...

ONE NIGHT

Episode 9 Just as they stepped down from the stairs. Ewa and Motun met. Ewa walked out of her sight as Arinola and Funto had to run to meet up with her "Who is that lady? And why did you react in such way? What's even happening today" Funto said. Ewa was about to talk when Motun appeared in front of her "Please ma, forgive me. I know I shouldn't have reacted in such way' Motun apologized as Arinola and Funto were looking lost "Sister...you humiliated me even if you want to correct me, it shouldn't be in front of everyone but it's fine and we learn everyday. I have forgiven you just that I don't want to see your face" Ewa said "Then, you haven't forgiven me totally. Please ma, I am sorry" Motun said and she was about to kneel "No, please don't do that. I have forgiven you" Ewa said and smiled "Thank you so much ma. I am really happy to hear this. I feel a load has been removed from my head. Please sis, wha...

Episode 8 "Seriously, I can't believe you have forgotten so soon. I know Funto is not good with remembering faces but Arinola, you should know her" Ewa said "I know her face looks familiar but I can't figure out where I met her" Arinola said curiously "Please, let's go inside the class. The first lecturer is out" Funto said as Arinola was busy thinking about the lady When they got to the class, Arinola asked "What is it about that lady? "I can't believe you are seriously asking me that question. What has happened to you? Ewa asked "I think I should ask if you both are still alright. I don't see the reason why you are dragging this matter. Ewa just go straight to the point. Who is she? Funto asked "Funto, I understand you. Is just that I don't know what Arinola can do, if I tell her who that lady is" Ewa said "Just say it. No matter what happens, we can handle it" Funto said "Okay, since that...

ONE NIGHT

Episode 7 "Oya o....come out, let's go for lectures" Arinola said and walked down to Funto's and Ewa's door.  Arinola might not be serious with anything but she does not joke with her academics. She moved closer to their doors as she heard them praying in their room "Hmmm...Awon eyan jesu (People of Jesus). Please let's be fast so that we won't miss the first class" Arinola said as she turned back and entered her room.  *30 MINUTES LATER....*  They were all set as they gathered in the sitting room. Arinola frowned her face because they couldn't meet up the first class "Arin...why are you frowning your face? Ewa asked "Didn't you guys always check your time before praying? Now, we can't meet up the first class because you were praying.  Do you even think God will be happy with you guys. It seems you both have forgotten the reason why we are here in the first place. Am not saying you guys should not pray but I also believe you...

Episode 6 Ewa explained everything that happened to them... "Really....I am sorry to say this but I think that lady is stupid. This dress no decent abi, make she wait wey I wear my own dress come the church. She go choke (Let her wait till I wear my own cloth to church. She will choke" Arinola said as Funto laughed "Arinola...remember, don't repay evil for evil. My own perspective about the lady is that I think she has something against you. Probably, she is jealous" Funto said "Jealous...My God. Who gets jealous of a first timer. Someone you don't even know yet. Why will she be jealous? Ewa asked "She can be jealous for so many reasons. Just look at you, you are so beautiful and probably, she is not. Moreover, you have a good shape and maybe she doesn't have. I can go on to mention many reasons but let me stop here" Arinola said "God bless you Arin. Moreover, she should not have behaved in such way. Christianity is not about yo...

 *Episode 5* "Who is at the door? And what is your name? Ewa asked in a loud voice "Open the door now" Funto said in a masculine voice as she laughed silently "Or those brothers in church followed you here? Arinola asked as she looked at Ewa "No...they can't and they can't visit me because I didn't drop any details about myself" Ewa said frankly "Babes, its me o...You guy should open the door. Una too dey fear (You fear too much) Funto said and laughed "Funto!!!" Ewa and Arin said as Ewa went to open the door. Funto walked in and sat on the chair "Funto...don't try that again o. You want to confuse two grown adults" Arinola said as they all smiled "How was service today? Ewa asked her as she sat on the bed "Service was superciliously superb, fire brand and amazingly graced and seasoned with the word and presence of God" Funto said joyfully "Oppoorrr (it's plenty)" Arinola said "Wow....

ONE NIGHT

 *Episode 4* In the church, everyone has gone home expect the executive members as the pressy (Bro John) asked them to wait behind for an immediate meeting "I want to appreciate every executive here" Bro John said as He called their names and celebrated them "Also, I noticed something when the service was going on and that's why I called for this meeting. Please, I want us to hold unto our position and focus on our assignment. Everyone has different positions and I see no reason why you should be handling someone else's position other than yours. It's very wrong expect you are asked to do it" Pressy said and he discussed on leadership.  Even without mention names, deeply within Motun she knew it was her pressy was talking to. After they dismissed, Motun went to Faith and apologized again for what she did. "Mama, i am so sorry for what I did. I should not have reacted in such way. I guess I was over protective" Motun said "I understand you....

ONE NIGHT

 *Episode 3* Getting home, Ewa didn't bother greeting her other flat mates. She opened the door to her room and as she entered, she stood in front of the mirror to speak to herself "Ewa, don't feel bad. You can do better" she said to herself as she heard a knock on the door. She knew it was her friends but she wasn't sure which of them is at the door step. "Who is that? She asked "How many people are you living with? Oga open the door unless, I will break it" the person said "Arinola, I know you are the one. Awon monitoring spirit" Ewa said as she opened the door "Who is monitoring spirit? Arin asked as she opened the door "Abeg, come inside. I don't have time for your wahala this afternoon. I have gotten enough so please, don't add to it" Ewa said frankly. Arinola, is much closer to Ewa than Funto the other flat mate. Funto is a reserved person and a Christian who loves God unlike Arinola who is just a church goer ...

 *Episode 2* As soon as Motunrayo got to where Awelewa sat, she squat and smiled as she said "Good Morning sis. Please I need a favour from you" "Ok...ay. What's that ma? Awelewa asked as she was surprised "Ma, can you please move to the back seat or would you rather prefer I get a cloth to cover up yourself" Motunrayo said bluntly "I am sorry, i don't understand. What do you mean? Oh..... am I stained? Awelewa asked as she was confused and scared "No ma. I am referring to your dressing. Your dress is too appealing and revealing. So, it's better you sit at the back. I mean no offense ma but I hope you understand" Motun said "O....h..thank you ma. Should I stand up now or after the Sunday school class? Awelewa asked shamefully "You can migrate to the back sit when the Sunday school is over. Thank you ma" Motun said as she stood up and went back to her sit, ignoring mama's face. Awelewa became uncomfortable through ou...

ONE NIGHT

 *Episode 1*  The journey began at One Night and also ended at One Night. If you find yourself in any part of the story, know it's for a purpose and learn from it. Stay with as we journey together. Awelewa strolled into the church as the Sunday school service was going on and she sat on the first sit of the middle row. Motunrayo, stood up immediately she saw her and went to the back to meet Faith, the mama of the church. "Mama, did you see that lady that entered now? Motunrayo asked as she taps the table to get her attention "No, I didn't see anyone and as you can see, I am busy with the assignment pastor gave me. What about her? Faith asked "Hmmm...mama, I really don't understand what is going on in the church. Lots of people nowadays, are coming to church without the fear of God. Mama.....Mmmm ...Mama....she could not finish her statement as faith interrupted her. "Sis Motun, please can you go straight to the point. I have to submit this assignment aft...

LIGHT

Weeks ago, the bulbs in my room was always giving me problem and it was really annoying because for every bulbs, they only lasted for a day and some two days. I really needed light and I had to use my lamp for days until a bulb was bought by my dad and it was fixed. Even before I entered my room, I was seeing traces of light at the entrance. I even thought my lamp has been on since morning, only for me to open the day and realised it was the new bulb. I was amazed because the light was almost shinning to the sitting room entrance with the room door opened. I told my dad that the light was too bright and he said, I was the one complaining about the previous bulb which was offing on its own and now I have found another one that emits brighter light and I am complaining. He continued and said, the bulb is expensive. Apart from being expensive what I noticed is that the bulb stayed than others bulbs whose light just turns off suddenly. Hmm...the same way some sisters are... Don't be a ...

OPPRESSION

DEAR SISTERS, Don't live your life being oppressed about the spiritual life or Christian journey of someone else just because of what you see and not what you know. When you begin to see or feel intimidated by the spiritual life of someone else. Watch yourself. You should not live your life based on the progress of your fellow brethren. Neither should you judge yourself based on what you see about others. Instead, of focusing on yourself. Appreciate their works and keep moving and if you know it's not working for you. Probably, you need a break from social media. Don't have the mindset of someone is showing-off just because you feel oppressed. You are not the judge, let God judge that. Be intentional about yourself this month and focus on God. Don't run away from His dealings, instructions, etc. Let Him continue to guide you and not the people. I pray God continue to help us...Amen! Happy new month to everyone wherever you are. We will be releasing a novel this month by...
